Introduction
Read these instructions carefully and completely before
you install the machine. The installation should be carried
out by a qualified person who is familiar with all local codes
and ordinances for electrical and plumbing connections.
If a dishwasher is being installed in this area for the first
time, most of the cabinet work, plumbing, and electrical
has to be done before you move the machine into place.
If you are replacing an old dishwasher, you must check
the plumbing connection and wiring before you move the
new dishwasher into place.
NOTE:
Cosmetic damage must be reported to the ASKO
dealer within five days from the date of purchase.
As soon as you unpack the dishwasher, thoroughly
check it for cosmetic damage.

WATER SUPPLY
WARNING!
Plumbing connections must comply with applicable
sanitary, safety and plumbing codes in your area.
The machine can be connected to either a hot or cold
water supply. If a cold water supply is used, the washing
times will be longer but the performance will not be
affected.
WARNING!
In order to prevent heat damage to the inlet valve, all
solder connections must be made before the water line
is connected to the dishwasher.
Connect to cold water...
If you use oil or electricity to heat your home.
Connect to hot water (max 160 °F, 70 °C)...
If you use district heating, solar power, or geothermal
power to heat your home. Choosing a hot water connection
cuts program times and reduces the dishwasher’s
electricity consumption.
The dishwasher comes with a 6-foot PEX water supply
line that has a 3/8˝ NPT female connection.
After determining where the water supply line will enter
under the sink, drill a 1-1/2˝ (38 mm) access hole and run
the line to the approximate inlet valve location shown in
the figure below. The water line inlet valve is on the right
rear of the machine.
For service convenience, a shut-off valve (not supplied)
should be installed in the supply line in an easily
accessible location, such as, beneath the sink.
It is important that the water supply line and the shut off
valve have a sufficient flow volume. At least 3 gallons (12
liters) per minute must be able to pass through the line.
The water pressure should be 4.2-140 psi.

2. Water supply valve to dishwasher (not supplied)
NOTE:
Be sure to run the PEX tubing through the hole to the sink
compartment before moving the dishwasher into position.
DRAIN CONNECTIONS
THREE WAYS TO INSTALL
DRAIN CONNECTIONS
ASKO provides a 7/8˝ (22 mm) diameter corrugated drain
hose which is connected to the back of the unit to form
a high loop.
A)Typical connection to sink plumbing before
trap (high loop drain)
NOTE:
Do not use any fittings anywhere in the drain
line that are less than 7/8˝ (22 mm) OD.
The access hole for the drain line should be 1-5/8˝ (41 mm)- 2˝
(50mm) max.
The end of the drain line is 1/2˝ (12 mm), but it is adjustable
to 7/8˝, 3/4˝, 5/8˝ (22 mm, 19 mm, and 16 mm). If the drain
connection is larger than
1/2˝ (12 mm), you can
easily cut the drain line to
fit the connection.
508
The illustrations to the right show three ways to connect
the drain supply line.
THE HIGH LOOP
B)Connection to air gap then to the trap
The high loop is necessary for proper draining. Therefore,
all ASKO dishwashers have the drain hoses attached to
the drain pump and fastened to the top back of the unit,
as illustrated. This gives the drain
hose an automatic high loop, which
is necessary for proper draining. The
drain hose is fastened at the best high
loop height.
To eliminate potential drain problems, simply leave
this hose in place.
508
DO NOT REMOVE THE HIGH LOOP ATTACHED TO
THE BACK OF THE DISHWASHER!
IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER:
♦ Failure to provide the proper drain connection height
(minimum of 20˝ (508 mm) above the bottom of the
dishwasher base) or a 20˝ (508 mm) high loop will
result in improper drainage, which will damage the
machine.
♦ No part of the drain hose should be higher than 35˝
(889 mm) from the bottom of the dishwasher.
♦ The drain hose can be extended to a maximum length
of 10 feet (3048 mm). Joints and jointed tubes, if any,
must have a minimum 7/8˝ (22 mm) OD.
♦ If the drain line is going to be connected to a waste
disposer, be sure to remove the knockout or plug from
the fitting on the disposer before connecting the drain
line.
♦ Do not use fittings smaller than 7/8˝ (22 mm) OD;
otherwise the water may not drain properly.
C)Connection to waste disposer with air gap
When the installation is ready, open the supply valve to
pressurize the fill system. Then check that all connections
are tight and there are no leaks.
